    Author: U'Ren RC.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1987 Mar; 42(3):49-50, 54-6. PubMed ID: 3817479.
    Abstract:
    Dementia and depression are among the commonest psychiatric disorders in the aged. Their detection can be considerably enhanced if the physician includes in the medical evaluation seven components of a psychiatric nature, giving particular attention to signs and symptoms of dementia and depression, and performs a brief formal mental status examination.
